Are you in a hurry to buy? I might wait until we find out what exactly Apple is going to do with the Mac Pro. It might get updated, miniaturized, die, turn into iMac Pro or… who knows? Q1 2012 should hold the answer.

We used the Panasonic AG-1980 in those days (and still do on occasion), I bet they aren’t that expensive now.
FWIW Ebay is pretty reliable… So long as you buy from a decent seller. Check the sellers feedback and rating. If they sell tons of stuff related to what you are shopping for and have a high rating you will get what you expect. If the seller has only sold 3 items which were children’s socks and hello kitty stickers and they already have negative feedback, I wouldn’t buy a Sony PDW 700 from them…

Command-f to bring up the find box, type in the name of the master clip, click find all. Every clip in the timeline with the name of the master clip will be highlighted.
Does that do what you want?

I’m not familiar with after effects but I think you need to move the text to a layer above the camera.

Export self-contained with current settings from FCP. Open the resulting file in Compressor. Apply the appropriate “DVD Best” audio and video settings to fit the length of your video (eg 90 min, 120 min or 150 min). Click on the job to select it (the job is the area where the settings were added, don’t click the setting, click the job). In the Job Action tab choose burn DVD from the drop down menu and adjust the (very limited) options as desired. Compressor will burn the DVD when its done encoding.

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen!
Really I think that Apple killing off all the pro stuff could be detrimental to their image. Doesn’t the general consumer just love owning a product made by the same company that makes high end professional products? Once Apple is down to only consumer level products, won’t they lose that prestige holding onto everyone from the old school die hard users to 12 year olds? Then people realize they don’t want to be locked-in to the closed system that is Apple and they’ll move on to more open and customizable products. I don’t know, maybe those consumers don’t even care, they just want their new iGadget every (Avg = 298 days) and Apple will just dominate the consumer market.
Guess I’m just pissed because I (re)built my company around Apple when we moved into HD. My first Apple product in ’08, the Mac Pro, loved it and didn’t look back. Excellent experience with Apple all around. I was comfortable and confident that the investment in Apple was in a company who would support my professional needs far into the future. Just yesterday we were talking about upgrading to the new Mac Pro with thunderbolt when it comes out…
Although, Mac Rumors Mac Buyers guide say’s “Mac Pro- Do not buy, update soon”. I know that doesn’t hold any real value but without an official EOL from Apple, there is still a glimmer of hope.

I think they are getting ready to announce the new division of Apple, Apple Pro, which will be solely dedicated to the pro/broadcast market and will operate with unparalleled transparency. Apple Pro will apologize for X, rename it iMovie 12 and announce the Beta for Final Cut Studio 4. Including FCP 8 and the rebirth of every great App they ever EOLed. The Suite will cost no less than a few grand.
That or the announcement of Apples new line of HD TVs that can run FCPX which is controlled with a Nintendo Wii remote knockoff…

Yes, with the iPhone 4s or iPad 2. With “Mirroring” via the Apple Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) or VGA Adapter. Capture it.
Externally viewing iTunes purchased HD TV/Movies must be via the digital HDMI adapter, which does require HDCP compliance. Assuming your not trying to capture TV shows etc. it should work fine for screen capture.

I shoot with NX5’s and use FCP 7.0.3 L&T with no problems. So, we should be able to get you up and running as well.
1- What OS are you running?
2- Have you ever used L&T with other cameras, done so trouble free?
3- Did you first copy the “Private folder” from your FMU 128/SD Card to your Mac, or are you trying to L&T right off the FMU 128/SD Card? You should L&T from an HDD, not directly off the FMU 128/SD Card.
4- Trash Prefs?
5- Eject any other folders from the L&T window before opening the one you want to transfer.
I’m guessing that #3 is your answer, I hope you get it working properly.
